Re: No Target shown for Symbolic links
to sum up, the topic title says symbolic links, you kept mentioning junctions, now hardlinks have joined the party.
I'm going to post a solution to our dilemma... but I wonder if I should wait and see if anything else turns up.

Re: No Target shown for Symbolic links
try this color filter definition.
or this one, which is given in the help file, in the color filters page.
or this one, to color junctions, symlinks and hardlinks, all
or this one, to color junctions, symlinks and hardlinks, and regular shorcuts[ed.]
There's no way to distinguish between an original file and it's hardlink*, so both will be colored.
[*in fact, there's no such thing as "original file".]
good bye now.
Code: Select all
!prop:#hardlinks: 1
Code: Select all

Create a new column, set the property as a link target, then set the column special property as a junction target; what should I notice ?
The method I described; is the method one should use to create a column that shows symbolic links / junctions, no ?
Although, after doing all this, the junctions / symbolic links are not colorized ?

Re: No Target shown for Symbolic links
NO! that's a COLOR FILTER
You KNOW how to set one up! HERE! >> http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... er#p126520
<<
Remember?
Do whatever you want with the that link.
I, too, am done here - don't want to lose my my temper over any hard, soft, raw or deepfried links.
[aargh, desperately need some humor!]
====================================================≠
I even explicitly mentioned the words "color filter". Why would you think they're some "commands"?
If you learn that a lion has escaped from the local zoo, then something scratches at your door, and you see a lion thru the peephole, do you think maybe that's a hamster?

Re: No Target shown for Symbolic links
The first color filter worked, my hard link is colored. The junction column is not required. I assume there is no way for XY to list where the hard link location is related to ?SammaySarkar wrote:try this color filter definition.or this one, which is given in the help file, in the color filters page.Code: Select all

Re: No Target shown for Symbolic links
Correct. Although this could be done with a custom column, a script, and a command line tool. Google knows more about such tools...I assume there is no way for XY to list where the hard link location is related to ?

Re: Way to make script symlinks from inside xyplorer
No, just search for "weather statistics"... It will 100% match what the whole thread is all about...

The only things I have come across are a program called; Link Shell extension & Disk Junction.

Really? I suggest those people should read a bit more about fsutil.exe before they claim such things...
